threat and horror
Robbers threaten to kill a man's daughter. Hikers dangle from a rope bridge and fall from a height. Hikers are threatened by a snarling big cat. There are infrequent jump scares.
language
There is moderate bad language ('dick'), as well as bleeped strong language ('f**k'), and other terms such as 'crap', 'arse', 'bloody', 'goolies', 'bugger', 'bastard', 'shit', 'asshole', 'screw', 'God', 'damn', 'Jesus', 'hell' and 'Christ'.
sex
There is a reference to being 'terrible in bed'. There is mild innuendo. A balloon figure has comic breasts.
drugs
Trapped under a fallen tree, a girl takes magic mushrooms to relieve her pain. There are references to 'shooting up' in song lyrics. There are cautionary references to addiction.
injury detail
Hikers are cut and bloody after a fall. The carcass of a deer is seen to be gashed.
sexual violence and sexual threat
There is a fleeting reference to the appropriateness or otherwise of touching other people's children.
rude humour

To use them as medicine, a father picks wild mushrooms at random. His daughter is able to identify them.
